Wie Riosmena das erste logo design Abenteuer antrat

Firmenname

Iván Ríos-Mena

Überblick

I'm Iván Ríos-Mena, an attorney, mediator, and consultant based in Puerto Rico. Right now my practice as a management consultant centers around conflict management, but in the future may include other areas such as general business strategy or change management.

Erzählen Sie uns, wer Sie sind und wen Sie erreichen wollen?

I want to target primarily young entrepreneurs and startup founders who are, or may soon be, in a growth stage and don't typically think about conflict management issues. My practice also targets some medium-to-large businesses, but I want to not be seen as a "boring" consulting behemoth such as McKinsey & Co. (http://www.mckinsey.com) or Boston Consulting Group (http://www.bcg.com).

Anforderungen

I'm a consultant, but I plan to expand into other ventures and would probably like to use a uniform identity. I am looking for a logo to represent my personal brand, as well as my business brand.

I want the logo to work as a personal (logo alone, or logo+my name) as well as corporate (logo+my name+"Consulting LLC") logo.

I want the logo to have my initials. The options would be: "IR" or "IRM". So I want one version to be "IRM Iván Ríos Mena", and the other "IRM Iván Ríos Mena Consulting LLC". I also visualize the logo having my name in text, more or less like this, in terms of having a logo and text by its side: http://bit.ly/98ZNiA.

Other details:
-can have colors, but it absolutely has to be able to be used in black and white. If colors will be used, I prefer dark red, blue, and other 'serious' colors.
-no stock art
-simple,bold,fresh
-use a font that is visually compatible with typical fonts, so that I can create a uniform identity in blogs,letters,etc.
-use only one font
-scalable, so that it can be used in any size, from websites to business cards.
-not "trendy", so that it can be continued to be used through several years without looking out of date.

-vector graphics
